This ¿Hillside Settlement¿ proposal by the Mars Foundation would build
a permanent settlement on Mars, constructed from local materials such
as fiberglass and masonry. Preliminary mass and cost estimates show
that we may be able to establish a permanent, growing settlement for
the same launch cost as a program of round-trip exploratory missions.

The Mars Foundation is designing a very small, (relatively)
inexpensive manufacturing base for Mars, which can grow into a
permanent human settlement. Your feedback or participation is
welcome. Help figure out the least expensive way to get off the Earth
permanently.
